We're Fur & Silk

Fashion and beauty, researched for real life

Fur & Silk is an independent editorial site covering beauty, fashion, and accessories, with a particular focus on everything you wear in the sun. We research and compare products so you can find what works for your skin, your body, and your budget, without wading through hundreds of listings.

What we cover

Sunscreen and SPF.‍

Our deepest area of expertise. We organize sunscreen guides by skin type, skin concern (redness, dark spots, post-acne marks), and format: sprays, sticks, tinted, mineral, and absorbing-filter formulas. Every sunscreen we recommend is broad-spectrum and SPF 30 or higher, the minimum dermatologists recommend for daily use.

Sunglasses and eyewear.‍

Guides to every major frame shape, face-shape fit, and specific uses like driving and polarized lenses. Every pair we feature blocks 100% of UVA and UVB rays (UV400), from designer frames to picks under $50.

Swimwear.‍

Swimsuit guides by body type, style, and occasion, focused on fit, fabric, and sizing range so you can shop with confidence online.

Fashion, beauty, and trends.‍

Shopping guides, seasonal trend breakdowns, and accessories that are worth your money and wear well beyond one season.

How we choose products

We don't pick products because they're popular or because a brand asked us to. For every guide, we:

• Put function first. Sun protection products must meet clear standards: broad-spectrum SPF 30+ for sunscreens, UV400 for sunglasses. For everything else, we look at materials, construction, and fit before style.
• Read the specs, not just the marketing. That means ingredient lists and UV filters, frame materials and lens measurements, fabric content and size ranges.
• Compare across price tiers. Most guides include designer and affordable picks side by side, so a smaller budget doesn't mean settling.
• Keep guides current. We revisit guides regularly, update prices and availability, and show the date each one was last updated.
